Worsley Second XI - 2024 Season Review

A second-place finish for the Second XI ensured our top two men's sides were both promoted in 2024.

James Brocklebank's side were in contention for the league title throughout the season, but were eventually pipped by Winton by just 2 points.

Hindley St Peters conceded against the 2s on the final day but Winton's victory over Clifton ensured they lifted the title.

The second place finish takes nothing away from an incredible season for captain James Brocklebank and his side who won 15 out of 20 matches.

The captain led the way with a league-high 45 wickets, ably supported by new signing Ahmad Riaz who took 34.

On the batting side, Adrian Bradley topped the charts with new signing James Maher and returning Nick Irwin both supporting at the top of the order.
